Study of two tribes sheds light on role of Western-influenced diet in blood pressure A South American tribe living in near-total isolation with no Western dietary influences showed no increase in average blood pressure from age one to age 60, according to a new study. In comparison, a nearby tribe whose diet includes some processed foods and salt did show higher blood pressure into late middle age. ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png #Nutrition #Research ...

Gut hormone and brown fat interact to tell the brain it's time to stop eating Researchers have shown that so-called 'brown fat' interacts with the gut hormone secretin in mice to relay nutritional signals about fullness to the brain during a meal. The study bolsters our understanding of a long-suspected role of brown adipose tissue (BAT) -- a type of body fat known to generate heat when an animal is cold -- in the control of food intake. ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png #Nutrition #Research ...
